(Cl. 223-87) ABSTRACT OF THEDISCLGSURE -cludes a plurality of generally horizontally disposed slotsfor grippingly engaging individual ties together with additionalopenings for receiving other accessories such as cud links, shirt studsand the like.

This invention generally relates to improvements in devices in the formof hangers, carriers and supports for holding, storing and displayingvarious styles, patterns and types of ties and other related accessoriesand more particularly relates to novel improvements in devices of thisnature for use particularly in association with a conventional garmenthanger, but also adaptable for use with various other type hangers,display racks, holders, etc.

The present invention finds its preferred, though not restricted,environmental use in association with a conventional hanger on which anarticle of apparel, such as a man's jacket, is draped or hung, theinvention making use of the exposed central section of the body portionof the hanger and the neck portion which carries the hook by virtue ofwhich the hanger is attached to a support, such as a clothes rod or thelike. An object of the present invention is to provide a deviceprimarily for the display and easy viewing of two or more ties plusaccessory items whereby the owner need not move one tie up or down or tothe side to View the pattern or style of another tie or accessoryhanging on the same hanger.

Thus, an aligned important object of the present invention is to providea hanger, carrier or support, in 'association with a conventionalhanger, whereby accessory articles of apparel, such as ties,handkerchiefs, cuff links and the like, can be attached to the hanger ina visual relationship with a jacket or other article of apparel disposedon the hanger, whereby a potential wearer of the jacket and user ofcertain of the articles of apparel can make a quick and easy visualcomparison of the relationship, as to pattern, style, color and thelike, between specific ties, 'handkerchiefs and the like in associationwith the specific jacket, leading to a judicious matching selection of aspecific tie, handkerchief, cuff link assembly and the like to be wornwith the specific jacket, in "accordance with the given desires of thepotential wearer of the jacket.

Another important object of the present invention is to provide acarrier and hanger device for supporting articles of haberdashery, suchas ties, in a manner so that the articles are securely and firmly heldand prevented against accidental dislodgement when the invention ishandled, moved, carried in a rough manner or under adverse conditions,as is, or when the device is used per so, to be supported by a hook, rodor the like or being usable in association with a conventional coat orjacket hanger.

3,378,180 Patented Apr. 16, 1968 A further object of the presentinvention is to provide a display device of the foregoing type, which isadjustable so that it can be attached to any type of hanger in a mannerso that it is securely anchored to the hanger whereby it is preventedfrom becoming dislodged from the hanger, irrespective of the manner inwhich the hanger is used.

A still further important object of the present invention is to providea very inexpensive, simple, sturdy and compact haberdashery hanger andhaberdashery display device, which is provided with self-contained meansfor firmly and securely holding ties, handkerchiefs and otheraccessories, either in association with a conventional coat hanger onwhich a jacket or the like is hung or by itself.

These together with other objects and advantages which will becomesubsequently apparent reside in the details of construction andoperation as more fully hereter described and claimed, reference beinghad to the mar accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein likenumerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

FIGURES 6 and 7 are front and end elevational views, respectively, of afurther modified form of the present invention, and

FIGURE 8 is a front elevational view of a still further modified form ofthe present invention.

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, andinitially to FIGURES 1-3, the present invention comprises a haberdasherydisplay hanger device 10, which, in its preferred environmental use, isadapted to be structurally associated with a conventional coat hanger12.

For exemplary purposes, the coat hanger i2 is illustrated as being thetype that is generally utilized for supporting a mans jacket 14. Thecoat hanger 12 is of the so-called wooden type and is generally composedof a body portion 16, having a central section 13 from which a neckportion 26 upstands, with the neck portion supporting a hook 23 byvirtue of which the hanger can be suspended from a clothes rod, hook orother fixture.

The display device 16 is preferably but not limited to being formed inone piece and includes a body portion 22, and a centrally disposed neckportion 24, which terminates in a hook or loop attaching portion 26.

The device it} may be stamped or otherwise formed from a flat sheet ofmaterial, or combination of materials which are of a sturdy and durablenature but which possess an inherent flexibility. Preferred materialsare well-known plastic materials or the like.

The display device id, as aforementioned, includes a body portion 22,which is provided with means for re taining, in a secure and firmmanner, without fear of accidental dislodgement, various articles ofhaberdashery or similar items, such as four-in-hand neckties, bow ties,preformed fourin-hand and bow ties, cuff links, handkerchiefs, scarfs,also jewelry articles and the like.

Thus, the body portion .722 is formed with self-contained means forretaining such articles, though it is envisioned that detachableclamping means could be structurally associated with the body portion22. However, in its simplest form, the body means itself is formed withmeans which functions to retain, in a firm and secure manner, thevarious items.

The body portion 22 has an upper edge 28, from the center of which theneck portion 24 projects, in a upstanding fashion. The neck portion 2has outwardly flared or sloping side edges which merge smoothly with thesections of the top edge 25s on opposite sides of the neck portion, thesections of the top edge being formed so as to complement and preferablynot be disposed above the upper supporting edge of the body portion 16of the hanger.

The neck portion is connected to the attachment means 26 by means of anintegral juncture portion 36, which can be bendable, due to the inherentqualities of the material or which may be pre-bent or which may beformed with score lines or the like, making the bending easier or anattachment means of a different material or form can be attached in anumber of ways, at any desired angle in the general area of junctureportion 30 or neck portion 24 or to body portion 22.

In its initial form, the entire display device can be fiat with theattachment means 26 lying in the same plane as the neck portion 24 andbody portion 22, as indicated by dotted lines in FIGURE 3.

In its structural association With a hanger, such as the hanger 12, theattachment means 26 is preferably bent so as to be offset at an anglefrom the coplanar neck and body portions. The angle may be a rightangle, as shown in FIGURE 2, or any particular angular relationship withVarious factors governing the particular angular relationship. Sornegoverning factors are that the attachment means securely engage the hook23 and that the attachment means engage the hook in such a fashion thatthe body portion 22 is spaced, as shown in FIGURE 2, so that the bodyportion 22 will have a proper suspended position or fall from the neckportion 20 of the hanger and will be in proper orientation with respectto the exposed central section 18 of the body portion of the hanger andwith the neck portion 2t of the hanger and wiil not interfere with theproper draping of the jacket or similar garment on the hanger.

The attachment means 26, as shown in FIGURE 3, comprises an integralhook 32 formed on the end of the neck portion 24 and connected theretoby the bendable or firm juncture portion 30. The hook 32 terminatespreferably in an upwardly curved inner edge 34, which can be struck onthe same radius as the curvature of the closed portion of the hook, withthe outer end 36 being straight (or curved) and being slightly spacedfrom the confronting straight (or curved) side edge 38. The gap or space40, which is thus created, is very slight but is of sufficient dimensionto permit the hook to pass, possibly with slight pressure, over theshank portion 23a of the hanger hook. The shank portion 23a is thenlocated within the opening 42 defined by the hook and is quite obviousthat the display device cannot become accidentally dislodged from thehook 235 and will be firmly and securely attached to the hanger 12 byvirtue of the hook and also due to the angular offset relationship ofthe hook, which constitutes the integral attachment means, whereby thebody portion will be disposed in a position overlying the center section18 of the body portion 16. Thus, the body portion 22, as shown in FIGURE1, will lie within the exposed area between the lapels L of the jacket14.

The body portion 22 is provided with opposing side edges 44 and 46.Opening through each side edge and disposed in the same plane are slots58 and 50, which constitute one method of inserting neckties,handkerchiefs, scarfs or the like to the body portion. Each of the slotsis formed in an identical fashion and, with respect to the slot 43, thesame has an outer curved upper edge portion 48a and which slopesdownwardly and upwardly and has an inner terminating end or curved edge52. The point 54 of the upper edge is the lowest point and defines andbecomes the gripping member, which cooperates with the straight bottomwall or edge 56 of the slot. The bottom edge is formed at its outer endwith a lip 58, that confronts the edge 4341 and serves as a retainer toprevent ac cidental lateral movement of an article, such as a tie orhandkerchief, outwardly beyond the side edges of the body portion. Theinner end of the lower edge of wall 56 has a concave edge 60, so thatthe concave edge 69 and edge 52 are on a radius and constitute the innerend of the slot defined by the edges 54 and 56 so as to permit a limiteddegree of relative flexible movement in opposite directions of upperpoint 54 and lower edge 56, creating another method of inserting orreleasing ties and the like from the body portion 22.

Diagonal slots 62 are formed in the body portion and are incommunciation with the slot 48 and open through the lower edge 56, theslot being arranged diagonally and extending downwardly and outwardlyand being adapted to serve as a gripping or holding means for holdingcuff links or the like and are also serving as holders for the clips onpro-formed bow ties.

The body portion 22 has a lower end portion 64, which is formed at theside edges 44 and 46 and, intermediate the side edges, with slots 66that are of similar design and purpose as slots 48 and 50. As in thecase of the slots 48 and 50, the slots 66 have downwardly bowed orarcuate upper edges 66a which becomes the pressure point or grippingmember in cooperation with the straight lower confronting edges 66b. Thelower edges have outer hook ends or lips 660, which act or serve thesame purpose as lip 58. Radius a serves the same purpose as apertureSubstantially elliptical shaped apertures 68 are formed in the bodyportion, below the upper edge 28 and to each side of the neck portion 24and similar apertures 68 are formed in the lower end portion 64 and canbe staggered or offset in relation, vertical-wise, with respect to theslot 66, the purpose being that articles, such as preformed four-in-handties (see tie S2 in FIGURE 2), cuff links, clips and the like, insertedin the apertures are exposed because of the spacing of the apertureswith respect to the viewable front face of the body portion. A circularaperture 70 is formed in the body portion, substantially at the centerthereof, to hold clips or cuff links or the like which may be ofdifferent configuration and not easily held by the elliptical shapedapertures 63 or diagonal slots 62. In this respect, it must be mentionedthat the specific shape of the apertures is not of paramount importancethough, depending upon the modified forms of the invention, the spacingand relative relationship thereof to each other and with respect to thefront of the front face of the body portion may be considered ofimportance with regard to the viewahility of articles secured in theapertures or having portions, such as the clips of how ties, anchored inthe apertures.

It can thus be seen that the body 22 is formed by virtue of the specificslots and apertures and the relative arrangement and placement thereof,with self-contained gripping or clamping or holding means wherebyneckties, scarfs, bow ties and the like accessories, usable inconjunction with the jacket 14, may be attached to the body portion andwhereby cuff links or like articles of jewelry which would also be wornat the same time that the jacket 14 was worn can be attached to the bodyportion in a manner so that the same are clearly visible, as illustratedin FIG- URE 1.

Thus, the primary aim of the present invention is satisfied in respectthat the display device 10 retains the various haberdashery items inpositions so that one viewing the front of the jacket 14 can make ajudicious selection of a tie, handkerchief and particular cuff link setor other jewelry that the person desired to wear, on any given occasion,when the jacket 14 is worn.

In FIGURES 4 and 5, a modified form of display device generallydesignated by the numeral 10a, is shown, which includes a body portion22a, an integral neck portion 24a, which is coplanar with the bodyportion and an attachment portion 72, which is integral with the upperend of the neck portion 24a and is in the form of an annular ring havinga central aperture 74- which is adapted to be slipped over the hook of ahanger. The collar 72, which forms the attachment means 12a, is offsetrearwardly and upwardly, in an obtuse or any other desired angle, fromthe coplanar, flat neck and body portions 24a and 22a, the angle beingselected by the determinative practice of the proper positioning of thebody portion over the front section of a hanger. The body portion 22ahas slots 76 with self-contained clamping means Ifia and 7612, being ofsimilar nature to 66a and 66b in FIGURE 3, for holding ties,handkerchiefs and scarfs and is also formed with a series of especiallyarranged, shaped and oriented apertures 78 or 73a for holding cufflinks, clips of bow ties or the tongue portion 39 of a clip-on,preformed tie 82, as shown in FIGURE 2.

The display device 161.), which is illustrated in FIG- URES 6 and 7, issimilar to the display device Ida except that the body portion 22b isformed with a lower end portion 8-3, which is formed with a slots 82,that are placed in similar fashion to the slots 65 of the body portion22 of FIGURE 3. However, instead of the upper edge 82a of the slots 82having a downwardly sweeping radius or curvature, which constitutes aclampin means in conjunction with the confronting straight edge of theslot, as in the instance of the edges 66a and 66b of the slots 65, theupper edge 82a of the slots 82 is formed centrally with a depending lug84. The lug opposes a notch 36 formed in the bottom edge 82b and serves,in structural and functional association therewith, as a pressure orclamping means for gripping primarily the upper tongue portion 80 of aclip-on, preformed tie 82 (as shown in FIGURE 2'), a necktie,handkerchief, scarf or the like. This style slot is adaptable for use onall other modified models.

The body portion 22b is formed with a series of apertures 83, which areof but not limited to elliptical and circular formation and are spacedin staggered arrangement for the same reasons as the spacernent andarrangement of the apertures in the body portion 22 of the display device 10, as shown in FIGURE 3.

In FIGURE 8, a further form 160 is illustrated and such form is similarto the form shown in FIGURES 4 and 6 but instead of the attachment means12a, which is in the form of an annular collar, in the instance of thedevice of FIGURES 4 and 6, the attachment means Me of FIGURE 8 isidentical to the attachment means 26 of FIGURE 3 in that it consists ofan open loop 9d, having an entrance slot $2 for the lateral passage of.the shank portion of a hanger hook into the loop. The body portion 22chas openings or slots 94 formed with retaining pressure or clampingpoints 94a and 94b and with apertures 96, which are similar to the slots'76 and pressure or holding points 76a, 76b and apertures 78respectively of the device 1011 of FlGURE 4, though the particularspacing of the apertures 96 is somewhat varied, especially with respectto the annular aperture 98 and one of the elliptical apertures 160.

However, as aforcstated, with respect to the particular configuration ofeach of the apertures and the relative arrangement and spacing thereofin the body portions of any of the illustrated display devices, suchwould be dictated not by any factor of structural cri'iicality but moreby reason of a spaced arrangement whereby articles, which would beattached to the body portions by virtue of the apertures, would bespaced apart for exposure purposes.

It can thus be seen, with respect to any of the illustrated displaydevices, that means is provided which, though usable in and of itselfand, in such respect, being attachable by virtue of the attachment meansto a fixture, is especially designed for attachment to a hanger and foruse in association with a jacket, as illustrated in FIG- URE 1.

With the present invention employed in the manner disclosed, the owneror user thereof will have a relatively simple and inexpensive but yetdurable hanger that permits articles stored thereon to be easilyassembled and removed therefrom but with such articles being securelyheld in place and with the hanger itself being easily and securelyattached to the neck of the parent garment hanger. With the parentgarrnet hanger holding a jacket or suitcoat, the hanger of the presentinvention will be ecurely retained in place since it virtually isimpossible for the present invention to fall off or away from its parentgarment hanger or for that matter any other similar support to which thehanger of the present invention may be connected or attached. Thishanger also permits the user to easily view without the necessity of theuser physically raising or moving to the side any particular tic, tiesor accessories in order to view a maximum number of patterns or stylesof the remaining ties and accessories supported on the invention. Thevalet hanger will firmly and securely hold ties and accessories mountedthereon and prevent them from falling off even though the hanger or theparent garment hanger to which the hanger of the present invention isattached is handled roughly or carried in a rough manner such as whenbeing carried over the shoulder, across the arm or the like. When thevalet hanger is associated with the parent hanger havint a coat orjacket thereon, the main body of the valet hanger will fall in aposilion approximately between the lapels of the suit or jacket thusoffering the user thereof a better view or idea of how any one or all ofthe ties or accessories held by the hanger will appear, blend, or clashwith the jacket or suit.

By employing the valet hanger of the invention described previously, aperson or user may store and display many different types and styles ofties and related accessories and thereaiter permit the user theopportunity of attaching the valet tang-er to a gnrmet hanger holding aparticular suit or jacket whereby the user conveniently can select anyone of the preselected assortment of patterns and styles of ties andaccessories appropriate for such jacket or suit which may change theover-all general appearance of the particular suit or jacket and at thesame time expand the versatility of the wardrobe of the user. For userswho are in a rush or who have difficulty in selecting a proper tie fromthe many tics he may have in a closet or if the user is color blind ornotoriously has poor taste in a selection of tie patterns and styles,the present invention when properly attached to the parent garmenthanger holding the appropriate suit or jacket will retain the ties andaccessories which are considered proper for a particular suit so thatone of the appropriate ties or accessories can be quickly selected andemployed.

The invention can be comprised of but not limited to a rather flat andrelatively thin sheet of plastic or other suitable material that canreceive or have attached thereto advertising material or other printedindicia to be placed on the face or back thereof. The device may beconstructed of plastic material, metal such as aluminum or othermaterial or combination of materials which are capable of limitedflexing or being joined together at an angular position, if so desired,to form the desired attaching loop, collar or hook required or bestsuitable, for various types of garment hangers or for attachment tovarious types of display racks and the like. In some instances and withsome materials, the attaching loop or hooks may be substantially rigidbut the area which it is attached to the body portion can be madeflexible in nature. Either a right or left clip or clasp on the back ofa preformed bow tie can ca 'ly be placed on body portion or neckextending upwardly therefrom when the bow tie is in the open positionand after the bow tie is snapped shut or closed, it will be fixed ontothe neck generally in a position relative to the suit coat or jacket inwhich the bow tie is normally worn.

Preferably, all of the openings and the inner ends of the slot arerounded, curved or constructed on a radius to minimize any tendency ofsplitting or breakage when under stress or strain and the roundedsurfaces also tend to minimize sharp corners that may promote catchingor tearing of material. The pressure or grip exerted on the tie may beeasily released, it need be by applying slight pressure (with the usersfingers) in opposite directions, the body of the upper part of the slot(holding the tie) rom the lower part of the slot. This enables tieswhich are quite thick to be inserted fully into the slot by moving theportion of the body defining the lower and upper edge of the slotforwardly or rearwardly in opposite directions simultaneously. If ticshaving relatively thin material are to be supported in the slots, theymay be doubled to provide adequate thickness for secure grippingdirectly under the pressure points or partially under same, as the casemay be.

It is to be understood that the various cuts, openings, receptacles,etc. which the invention includes, and its shape and form are notlimited in size, etc. and can easily be rearranged, restyled andorganized in other modified forms coming equally within the scope of theappended claims and that the invention is not limited to the precisearrangement, organization or number of openings, etc. as herein shownand described.

The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles ofthe invention.
